My Creative Time's Design Team Day - God Bless America

Today over at My Creative Time we are posting projects in honor of the anniversary of September 11th. What a sad and scary day that was. I remember it very well, as I'm sure you do as well. I am truly thankful for the freedom that I enjoy and the many men and women who work hard to keep our country safe and free.

For this card I used a couple of Emma's stamp sets. For the star background and the God Bless America sentiment I used 'My Little Firecracker' stamp set. Then for the 'Thank You for your Service' I used the 'Happy Homecoming' set. I also have to say that I'm LOVING how many sentiments fit PERFECTLY into Emma's 'Stitched Oval Die.'

I hope you will drop by the My Creative Time blog to see what Emma and the rest of the design team have in store for you!!!! Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Items Used:

Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge
My Creative Time stamps - My Little Firecracker
My Creative Time stamps - Happy Homecoming
My Creative Time Dies - Stitched Oval

My Creative Time Design Team Day!

Welcome crafty friends. Today is another design team day with Emma over at My Creative Time. She asked us all to use her stamp set "Camera Shy" for our project. I must admit that I have fallen in LOVE with the Kate's ABC cartridge. I think this image is SO sweet and perfect for this sentiment. All of the cuts for this card come from the Kate's ABC cartridge including the background shape.

I did combine two of Emma's stamps for the sentiment. 'Simply Beautiful' is from her Camera Shy set and the 'You are' is part of the sentiment 'you are my hero' from her Happy Homecoming set. I just masked off the 'my hero' part and stamped it where I wanted it. I hope you will drop by Emma's blog to see what she and the other design team members have made.

I also want to remind you to keep dropping by Pam's blog as she is having a giveaway every day this week for her birthday! I'm also very happy and honored to say that I will be guest designing for her Friday (on her actual birthday). Click HERE to go to Pam's blog.

My Creative Time's May Stamp Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to another awesome stamp release blog hop. Emma has done it once again. These new stamps are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! If you have come here from Katie's blog than you are in the right place, if not the beginning of the hop starts at Emma's blog.

Emma asked me to use here beautiful new set called "Happy Homecoming." These stamps are an absolute neccessity for anyone with friends of family that serve or have served in the army, navy, or air force. Emma has designed these stamps so that you can customize your saying in SO many ways. I absolutely LOVE them. She also designed a super adorable frame that all of the sentiments can fit into. Now, if you don't have anyone near and dear serving in the armed forces, these stamps can be used for so many other occasions too. I decided to make a non-military card just so you can see how perfect they can be for other projects as well.

I made this card with my niece in mind. She is more of a blue and purple loving girl so I went with a blue theme. She just returned home after being away for 18 months serving a mission for my church. I thought this would be a perfect way to tell her welcome home.

Don't you just LOVE that adorable frame that fits the sentiment oh so perfectly? And those fonts they are just so beautiful. The beautiful dot background is one of my favorite background stamps from Market Street Stamps. It is called Loopy Loo Polkas.

Emma is so sweet and generous and she is going to give 4 lucky people a stamp set of their choice. All you need to do is hop to every stop on the hop and leave each person a comment for a chance to win. Pretty easy right? You have until Saturday night, May 21st to get your comments in.

Your next stop is Miss Leanne. I know she will have yet another BEAUTIFUL project for you. Click HERE to go to her blog.

I also made this card to enter into the sketch (with a twist) challenge over at Market Street Stamps. I fell in love with the sketch and just had to use it for my card. The twist was to use a background stamp to make an embellishment.
